The Palestinian Ministry of Education reports the deaths of approximately 10,000 students and 400 teachers in Gaza due to ongoing Israeli attacks that started on October 7.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: The Palestinian Ministry of Education said on Monday that 10,000 students and 400 teachers have been killed in the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression since October 7.
More than 76 percent of schools in Gaza require “full reconstruction or major rehabilitation” to be functional, according to the UN, Al-Jazeera reported.
Of the school buildings used as shelters for displaced people in Gaza, 69 percent have been directly hit or damaged in attacks and more than 96 percent of the schools directly attacked – 296 in total – were located in areas subject to Israeli military evacuation orders, it added.
In April, the UN children’s agency UNICEF said eight out of 10 schools in Gaza are damaged or destroyed with an estimated 620,000 students out of school. Nearly half of Gaza’s population is under 18, and its education system was already struggling after several wars and escalations since 2008.
Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 39,300 Palestinians and injuring over 90,800 others. Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children./Fars
